Chapter 2765 Unexpected Encounter

chapter 2765  unexpected encounter the group arrived at the identification post a few minutes later when they came across a place similar to a border post, where new arrivals had to go through a

"i'm sorry about that..." the guard broke out in a cold sweat as he felt something strange.

gulp!

"you can't be too careful." he justified himself. "what guarantee would we have that necromancers in the area aren't infiltrators sent by the royal family if they didn't sign such agreements?"

"that makes sense." minos stopped pressing the man before asking, "but what's the point of limiting only certain special types of cultivators? i could be an envoy from the royal family and you're not trying to limit me."

"the senior shouldn't joke about that." advised the guard, before replying to minos, "in any case, the city has its own methods of dealing with 'normal' cultivators. our concern is those capable of creating armies of their own."

"that makes sense." minos looked at abby and saw that she had finished. 'someone like abby, and of a high level, could probably appear alone in the area and make even high-level supremes emerge from their graves. a single one of them would be enough to cause chaos.'

soon after, abby received her id, and they could move on. but that wasn't before the guard, frightened by minos, gave the group some more advice.

"... if i were you, i wouldn't go straight to the city center right now. another group with a powerful necromancer went there earlier. it's possible that you'll be mistaken for their group if you go now. that could get you into trouble."

"powerful necromancer? what level?" abby asked.

"that i can't say. all 12th stage necromancers are powerful."

the fact that this city's guards knew what abby could do didn't mean that they knew her actual cultivation or that of others with powers of the same nature as hers. these guards had items with them that could identify necromancers.

minos and the others thanked the guard for the tip, but headed towards the city center. they had to recruit guild members, but that could be done later. now they wanted to go to the most important place in the city to see if they could get the information minos wanted to find there.

as for the guard's warning, they were grateful, but minos realized it was worth going against the guard's recommendation and moving towards the central ward of hilltop city immediately. something in the center of that city seemed like it would pay off for him, given what the nautilus' compass was showing him right now.

they headed back the way they had come earlier, soon arriving at the point on the path where the guards from earlier were. this time they weren't stopped, since the agreement abby had signed had changed the way those men saw her.

they went deeper into the city, soon coming to an area where even mid-level supremes walked the streets and the most common type of cultivator there were newly promoted supremes.

minos and his group still had to get used to how common early 12th stage cultivators were in uzira. but hilltop city was a little out of the ordinary, as it was one of the few places where rebels and invaders could live with a certain peace of mind.

but when they entered a street with several business options, stores and apparently famous restaurants, given the luxury of the area, minos stopped when he smelled something. looking back, he spotted a person who had spotted him and his group, too.

"minos," said a voice that almost everyone in his group recognized.
